JEANS - All Units We Have Shots Fired

  • A wonky 11 minutes that would throw a welcome wrench in any DJ set.

  • The latest release from Rotterdam label BAR is a split between Blond (a new alias from Oceanic) and The Hague's JEANS, who contributes an 11-minute oddity that sounds like it was made to throw dance floors into chaos. "All Units We Have Shots Fired" drunkenly stumbles to life, before coalescing into an EBM-influenced stomp where everything feels wonky—some of the melodic figures in the background sound like the jingle of demonic ice cream trucks. The whole thing melts away into eerie ambience before rebuilding itself piece-by-piece, a classic fake-out ending that should earn whoops of joy on the dance floor. It's rare for a lengthy track like this use to every one of its 11 minutes so creatively.
